According to a job posting discovered by Xbox 360 Achievements, Ubisoft Shanghai is looking for a lead designer for a “Heroes of MM” game. So even though it’s not obviously written “Might and Magic,” since Ubisoft holds the rights for the game and we’re talking about a pretty successful franchise, I think it’s HoMM VI we’re talking about!
However, hearing that it’s Ubisoft Shanghai who’s developing the game, makes me feel a bit uncomfortable and dazzled: the studio is best known for developing first person shooters like Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon and just recently Tom Clancy’s EndWar – a RTS game that, however, can’t have any connections design or gameplay wise with a Heroes of Might and Magic game.
UPDATE: The job listing has been modified and now, instead of a “Heroes of MM game,” it simply says “a brand new title for the PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Mac”. So we’ll keep this as a rumor, still, even though it seems obvious that they are really talking about a HoMM VI game. We’ll tell you more as soon as we have extra details.
